A woman formerly our slave is now our

treatment by physicians failed to give relief.

formed under her arm, aud three on the back
which discharged matter for a considerable

The feeling Of the Waco Day over the

and mechanical industry In their single
organization is quite philosophical.
The Day has good grounds for its con-
illusions. No one class can round up
everything. The experiment has been
tried only to fail. All things tend TO
condition of equilibrium. Somebody
must live beside the farmers, or the
farmers will soon find very little to live
for. Experience will teach all that ia
necessary to be learned In this matter.

ENFORCE ALL LAWS.

Mayor Hewitt, OF New York, finds
himself compelled to enforce an often
sive law. Ii is lay that is not relished
sents, nor does it meet the views Of that
section OF the party which is preemi-
nently democratic in its tendencies. All
the same the law is there, and Mayor
Hewitt recognizing his obligations as
mayor and head OF the city adminstra-
ton does not propose In its execution to
make one application of it to the poor
and another to the rich. His orders are
alike TO the bars and wine rooms of the
chief hotels and fashionable restaurants,
as well as TO the low rum holes and de-
graded resorts of the city. The Sunday
law against selling liquors must be en-
forced. says Mayor Hewitt, and Hotels
Brunswick and Royal, and DeImOniGO's
are under the law along with the rest.
With the law enforced in this manner,
Ii Is only q question of how long before
1t Is formally repealed. The only way
to make a bad law obnoxious Is
TO strictly enforce it. Let the in
justice and hardship Of all laws be fairly
felt and they must disappear from the
statute books. There would not be
prOhibitory law on the statute books Of
any state in this union today, were it
not that the loOpholes of the law are
sufficiently numerous and unguarded to
permit their violation with Impunity by
those who righteOusly oppose them.
The strict sabbatanarianism OF some
state enactments, and the prohibitory
laws Of other states are not repealed, be-
cause the law is sufficiently elastic to be
disobeyed and avoided, and the hardship
of it is not felt by the few who are rig
orously opposed to its provisions. Let
the law be rIgidly enforced, and let all
classes be made TO feel the full incon-
yenience OF Its legitimate and logical
workings, and bad law, or an oppres-
sive law, or law that interieres with
the personal liberty of the citizen
while working no Ill through
him to any other citizen, will
soon be repealed by mutual con-
sent. Those who are entrusted with the
execution OF law have not the authority
to judge OF the law itself, its character
or its justice. 1t is the duty Of the ex-
ecutIVe to execute the law and let lts
penalties and pains and hsrdships fall
where the will. The more rigid and i'm
partial and unidentified the enforce
ment OF any obnoxious law the more
speedy will be its repeal. Law should
not be brought into disrepute by being
allowed to become a dead letter upon
the statute book. 1t brings all law into
discredit by permitting any special law
to be broken with impunity. The citi-
zen, Of course, will elect whether to
obey an obnoxious law or meet the pen
atty of its iDfraction. The executive,
who is sworn to execute the law, cannot
do this, and bis only course is to enforce
the law, laying upon the law-making
power, the people, the responsibility of
whatever injustice 1t entails. Mayor
Hewitt has taken the best possible
course, and the only course consistent
with his oath OF Office, to make the rigid
sabbatarian law obnoxious.

HON. IRA G. HOITT.
The Newly Elected State Superintendent
OF Public Instruction.

The Office of State Superintendent Of
Public Instruction requires a man emf
nently qualified for the position. In elect
irg Ira G. Hoitt the people of California
have selected a man whose whole life from
early boyhooG has been Of character 10
educate aud fit him to ill this position.
II is native OF Lee, New Hampshire, and
is fifty-three Years of age. His early edu-
catiOr consisted of an alienation of farm
work and attendance upon the district
school. At the age OF eighteen he began
teaching school at Durham, New Hamp-
shire. His second school was taught at
West Amesbury, under the Quaker poet,
John G. Whittier, as Superintending Com
mittee. Having decided upon teaching as
a profession, he determined to more fully
qualify himself for the vocation in its
highest branches, and, in 1854, he entered
Phillips Exeter Academy, where, by the
closest application ard ability though de-
voting his vacations to farm labor, he COM
pleted a five years course of study in
three years. In 1857 he entered the Sophie
more class of Dartmouth College, from which
institution he graduated honorably in 1860.
He was now y years of age and his popu-
larity as a teacher was such that upon
graduating he had offered to him four diff
ferent positions, and accepted the principal
ship of the High School at Hollister, Mass.
This position he held for two years, and
was afterwards Principal of High schools
in Stoneham and Marlborough, Mass. His
reputation as a teacher of the highest order
was now thoroughly established, and he
was unanimously elected to a position in
the Boys High School of Boston. This he
resigned in 1864, to come TO San Francisco.
Mr.. Hoitt occupied the positions of Vice
Principal of the Deaman Grammar School,
Principal of the Rincon Grammar School,
and, on the completion of the Lincoln
School building, was unanimously chosen
as Principal for that institution. While
Principal of the Lincoln School he estab-
lished the Lincoln School medal fund, now
amounting 10 over 81 500, from the interest
of which deserving pupils in the gradual
ing classes annually receive medals. In
1867 Mr.. Hoitt received the Republican
nomination for City Superintendent of
Schools, but the entire Democratic ticket
was elected. He was elected to the Assem-
bly, in 1872 from the Tenth Senatorial
District, and was made Chairman of the
Committee on Education. In that position
he did much to improve the school laws of
the State. In conclusion, it may be said
that Mr.. Hoitt voted for and is in full ac-
cord with the amendment providing that
the State should furnish text books, and is
also in favor of going one step further, and
furnishing every child IN tie public schools
with their free use, and at his request As
semblyman Brusie has introduced bill
allowing any city, county, town or school
district in the Stale to decide by majority
vote upon the question of furnishing the
free use of text books to the public school
children The bill mas already had Ole
reading, and Mr.. Holt hopes to see it be-
come a law
